The set_cs_trace command specifies tracing options for data sent between computers on the SNAplus2 LAN. For more information about tracing options, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.

This command may be issued to a running node or to a HP-UX client computer on which the SNAplus2 software is running. To issue the command to a client computer, use the snapadmin program on the client computer without specifying a node name.

On Windows clients, client-server tracing is controlled by options in the sna.ini file; for more information, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.

Supplied Parameters

Parameter name        Type         Length    Default
[set_cs_trace]
dest_sys character 64 (null string)
trace_flags constant NONE
trace_direction constant CS_BOTH

Supplied parameters are:

dest_sys

The server name for which tracing is required. This name is a string of locally displayable characters.

To manage tracing on messages flowing between the computer to which this command is issued (either the local computer or one identified by the -n option on the snapadmin program) and one other node on the LAN, specify the name of the other node; tracing on messages flowing to and from other computers on the LAN will be unchanged. You can issue two set_cs_trace commands to activate tracing between the same target computer and two different destination servers.

To manage tracing on messages flowing between the computer to which this command is issued (either the local computer or one identified by the -n option on the snapadmin program) and all other nodes on the LAN, do not specify this parameter. The options you specify on this command override any previous settings for tracing to specific computers (identified by dest_sys on the previous set_cs_trace commands).

trace_flags

The types of tracing required. For more information about these trace types, refer to HP-UX SNAplus2 Diagnostics Guide.

To set tracing for all types use one of the following values:

NONE

Do not activate tracing for any type of message.

ALL

Activate tracing for all types of messages.

To activate tracing on specific message types, select one or more of the following values (combined using a + character):

CS_ADMIN_MSG

Trace internal messages relating to client-server topology

CS_DATAGRAM

Trace datagram messages

CS_DATA

Trace data messages

trace_direction

Specifies the direction or directions in which tracing is required. This parameter is ignored if trace_flags is set to NONE. Possible values are:

CS_SEND

Trace messages flowing from the target computer to the computer defined by dest_sys.

CS_RECEIVE

Trace messages flowing from the computer defined by dest_sys to the target computer.

CS_BOTH

Trace messages flowing in both directions.

Returned Parameters

No parameters are returned by SNAplus2 when this command executes successfully.

Error Return Codes

If the command cannot be executed, SNAplus2 returns a primary return code to indicate the type of error and a secondary return code to provide specific details about the reason for unsuccessful execution.

Parameter Check

If the command does not execute because of a parameter error, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

primary_rc

PARAMETER_CHECK

secondary_rc

Possible values are:

NAME_NOT_FOUND

The server specified by the dest_sys parameter was not valid or was not started.

LOCAL_SYSTEM

The server specified by the dest_sys parameter is the same as the target node to which this command was issued.

INVALID_TRC_DIRECTION

The trace_direction parameter was not set to a valid value.

State Check

No specific state errors, other than those listed in Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” occur for this command.

Other Conditions

Appendix A “Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands” lists combinations of primary and secondary return codes that are common to all commands.
